Hi Not sure which thread to put this into but .... BBC 2's Working Lunch has done to my knowledge at least three shorts on Open Source in general for a commercial organisation, school and a what is it?
I don't know about the usage of the clips or quoting BBC but in addition to what Mark was saying earlier I'd also suggest that if as part of the screen casts or leaflets you can add the creditability of a respected institution like the BBC, it gives the message just that little extra punch. It is interesting to see what people's views are on how to market Ubuntu / Open Source as the Malvern LUG are just about to start on that slippery slope in the local area. To an aside, as there appears to be people belonging to various LUGs on the list, and I know it's not proper here, but how about setting up a central repository on the main LUG site for all these leaflets we've done in the past? Stop re-inventing the wheel type of thing.

Before distribution the first step is making them. The biggest stumbler I have had is getting people to actually make them :( We've shifted a ridiculous amount of traffic from the screencasts site, I mean really, quite mental amounts. But we have had very few people contributing screencasts to us. If anyone can suggest ways to improve this, please let me know!
